I created this from some VERY cursory look into the Pally stat values. I just started my Pally and wanted a scale I could use to quickly evaluate gear while I am lvl'n. I know that stats change depending on your level, and these scales are mostly effective for max lvl characters so that comparisons are more balanced, but this is just something to help me decide between items I won't probably be keeping for too long anyway.

I would appreciate any input from people who actually understand the Paladin class. I'm focusing primarily on doing damage, with some consideration to survivability. It isn't really talent specific yet because I haven't learned alot about pally talents as of yet. Thanks!

I still am concerned that DPS is valued too low, but I haven't been able to find anything I can wrap my mind around that will give me a better idea what it should be. Any input would be nice.

I know that early on dps will be important for me, since I will most likely be lvl'n ret. Once I get higher lvl'd tho I would like to go a nice holy\prot hybrid for aoe grinding\tanking with some healing utility in groups. At that point, dps won't matter as much since, from what I gather, most of my damage will come from spell dmg and mobs hitting me\my shield dealing dmg when it blocks etc. But, like I said, I don't know much I'm just trying to piece things together that I've found in other places.
